Next door, is a vacant block of approx 1901m2 (on separate title) which is available to purchase as well so you may like to have just the cottage, the cottage and 2nd block or just the block! Both blocks are fenced together and with double gates to each and a safety mesh fence along the edge nearest the River ensuring the safety for children or pets.

Along the tallest wall of the living room are floor to ceiling bookshelves with their own rolling ladder to assist in reaching the highest shelves. The living room opens with a huge swing and slide glass door to a concrete patio which is covered with a freshly painted white frame. You may like to cover this with with a twin wall for shelter or alternatively plant a deciduous ornamental vine so you enjoy the shelter in the summer and the winter sun.

In addition, your energy efficiency is complimented by 18 x 360 watt solar panels (6.5 kw system with excess power fed back to the grid) and the James Hardie Scyon Linea cement cladding. This cladding mimics the appearance of wood cladding giving the cottage a rustic appearance but providing it with the solar passive benefits of compressed concrete.

Outdoors, there is a 3m x 2.3m colorbond, double door garden shed with shelving which is constructed on a concrete slab.

There is great flexibility offered here. Neighbouring property owners have built multiple dwellings on similar sized lots so if this is something you wish to consider, its certainly a possibility STCA, of course.

Located close to the main street and the shops and services there, and within a stone's throw of the 5 star Agrarian Kitchen the New Norfolk Distillery and many up and coming nearby public developments, this is a super-easy cottage to live in. Enhance as you wish or just enjoy.
